Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?
Dude is chill and she is not. That is enough for me.
Federal money should be given to the poor.
I don’t hate the guy I just think he’s a boring actor.
I don’t find him boring (yet); I just think he needs to be more selective in accepting roles, considering how distinctive-looking he is.
Yup.
He’s not bad but he’s doing Nick Cage level of shit. He is put in roles he’s clearly unfit for. So many characters which HAVE to be charesmatic… But he simply isn’t.
He needs to start picking his roles wiser.
Some people also don’t like it when someone is “overexposed” and in everything. They liked it when he was on the rise, in Game of Thrones and then he broke out with Mandalorian. People were happy because he played the role keeping the helmet on 99% of the season…especially flying in the face of the Halo series a while later.
But because he was now “popular” and appearing in more films and shows, this is bad now.
For some anyway. Not me. I love him still.
I personally don’t get it. He’s successful. It wasn’t handed to him like some nepo baby. He worked hard and did great jobs to achieve where he’s at.
I honestly don’t get it. You can have someone like Taylor Swift who releases an album every couple weeks and if you speak ill of her then you’ve essentially become Satan. So it’s ok for one person to be constantly in the publics face but it’s not ok for another person?
Crabs in a bucket.
its because he supports his trans sibling, the current flavor of hate is transphobia of right wingers.
yeah he’s a great fella as far as we know, his sister is trans and he’s a very vocal critic of JKR and other terfs
The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.
no they defend her, because shes the terf-queen, transphobes stick together.
All my homies vote for Pedro.
He also spoke up about palestine so that could have something to do with it
He’s a relative of the Allende family. He spent his childhood as a refugee after the US installed Pinochet and his family had to flee Chile. Idk why his anti imperialism would shock anyone.
US “installed”? Surely not, only bad countries do such things. The US of A is the only beacon of light and freedom and democracy and justice and Good Values™ in this world.
Who the fuck cares. He seems like a good dude and we all know she’s a complete piece of shit. Let’s not give her or her shitbag followers oxygen.
Your post has me realizing how much I don’t give a shit about.
I genuinely struggle to come up with a topic for a news article more mind numbingly uninteresting than celebrity drama.
Why are you in the comments section, then?
Hi, welcome to Lemmy. You’re in good company here.
I honestly don’t even know who Pedro Pascal is.
I didn’t recognize the name either until @[email protected] said who he is, after which my brain cells told me that i knew that before. e: but i’m notoriously bad at remembering actors names and faces - i often do not care enough to remember them, even in stuff i like; if i remember single actors, i stored that information primarily per cultural osmosis.
damn, how much arch are you using?
I don’t even get the reference because I stopped in for context but there is none because I still don’t know who that is.
An actor single handedly keeping a good 40% of the LGBTQ community off the ledge right now. Also he played The Mandalorian, and is a very vocal supporter of queer / trans rights (his sister is trans)
That helps immensely. I still don’t get how Arch is involved.
i was just joking around. prev comment said he didnt care. some one replied welcome to lemmy( your just like us). lemmy is filled with linux users. you said you dont know who we are even talking about. and i made the joke that you are that deep into linux you barely come up for pop culture.
He’s a pretty famous actor. With two popular shows running simultaneously (sort of) that contain him.
Yep
can someone fill me in please, I missed the while situation save a couple memes.
Pedro Pascal’s sister is a trans woman. He has been publicly very vocal on the subject of trans rights and inclusion. Consequently, a lot of transphobes, chuds, and miscellaneous fascists have been targeting him for a while and trying to smear his reputation any way they can. I don’t really pay much attention to celebrity stuff so I don’t know to what extent JK Rowling is personally involved in that, but given that she has been a very outspoken anti-trans bigot for some time, I would not be surprised to learn she was egging her followers on to that end.
Heaven forbid someone even suggests JK isn’t an advertiser freindly content creator over her hate speech. Expect the full Karen free speech rant.
Pascal supports his family member, and these troglodytes make it their mission to prevent him from making a living.
I have a rule of thumb in life. If it reminds me of Nazi rhetoric, I stay far away. It is rarely applicable but crucial when it is. I forget sometimes that there are people that not only dont think the same as me, they actually think the opposite.
Just looked his sister up and on the photos she looks happy. I’m happy for her.
I’d be happy if Pedro was my brother. I’d never stop smiling
This like when they cancelled James Gun and got him fired from Marvel? I haven’t seen anything about Pedro Pascal.
They’ve been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn’t) and whining that he’s just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.
wasnt that dwayne johnsons doing.

I am so unused to ads here that it took me whole minute to comprehend this.
haha same
It certainly puts it in new light the same way everyone randomly coming out to say they hate Coldplay after some CEO was outed as having an affair during one of their concerts.
Oh I disagree. I used to listen to Coldplay pretty often and people have hated on Coldplay for decades. Some found the sound boring, and I recall accusations of them copying music from others, though I never looked into those claims. I say used to because I feel like my tastes in music changed and they don’t come up in my playlist much anymore.
They didn’t do anything. Those two ousted themselves.
Hey! I hated Coldplay way before that shit happened, plus them outing a shitty ceo actually made them slightly cooler.
Ehhhh honestly saying that you hate Coldplay has been a thing for quite a while. They’re a highly successful pop act that is well past the peak of their popularity, that’s just gonna happen
X&Y is still a great album though
Weird, I haven’t heard anyone say they hated Coldplay for this. In fact, I’d say that Coldplay is one of those bands that is regularly hated on, well before any of the cheating CEO and now, if anything, Coldplay is more liked, even if indirectly just because the situation was funny and meme’d so much.
Agreed. Didn’t see that mentioned a single time
Ardent Coldplay hater here. Has absolutely nothing to do with the CEO shit.
Yeah Coldplay sucks and I agree.
As far as I can tell, Coldplay only have the one song, that they take apart and reassemble in different configurations. They are the musical equivalent of beige, and appeal solidly to the middle-classes. Hating Coldplay has been the thing to do for decades. It’s music for people who know nothing about music.
They have more than one song.
It’s just that you can’t tell them apart.
That’s odd that you’d describe them as Nickelback or worse, modern country music, when part of why they’ve gained and lost fans over the years is because their albums tended to have different sounds to them.
